  Key to the City - How Zoning...

  In Key to the City, legal scholar and architect Sara C. Bronin examines how zoning became such a prevailing force and reveals its impact—and its potential for good. Outdated zoning codes have maintained racial segregation, prioritized cars over people, and enabled great ecological harm. But, as Bronin argues, once we recognize the power of zoning, we can harness it to create the communities we desire, and deserve. Drawing on her own experience leading the overhaul of Hartford's zoning code and exploring the efforts of activists and city planners across the country, Bronin shows how new codes are reshaping our cities—from Baltimore to Chicago, Las Vegas to Minneapolis, and beyond. In Boston, a law fought for by a passionate group of organizers, farmers, and beekeepers is transforming the city into a haven for urban farming. In Tucson, zoning codes are mitigating the impacts of climate change and drought-proofing neighborhoods in peril. In Delray Beach, Florida, a new code aims to capture and maintain the town's colorful spirit through its architecture. 
   
   
   
  With clarity and insight, Bronin demystifies the power of an inscrutable organizing force in our lives and invites us to see zoning as a revolutionary vehicle for change. In Key to the City, she puts forward a practical and energizing vision for how we can reimagine our communities.

  "An engaging glimpse into a world both fascinating and fundamentally unknowable to those who aren't born into it." —R. E. BURRILLO, author of Behind the Bears Ears 
   
   
   
  Craig Childs bears witness to rock art of the Colorado Plateau—bighorn sheep pecked behind boulders, tiny spirals in stone, human figures with upraised arms shifting with the desert light, each one a portal to the open mouth of time. With a spirit of generosity, humility, and love of the arid, intricate landscapes of the desert Southwest, Childs sets these ancient communications in context, inviting listeners to look and listen deeply.

  BLADE RUNNER 2049 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY DENIS VILLENEUVE 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Blade Runner 2049 is a neo-noir science fiction film directed by Denis Villeneuve, set 30 years after the events of the original Blade Runner (1982). The story follows K, a replicant blade runner played by Ryan Gosling, who uncovers a long-buried secret that could alter the balance between humans and replicants. As he investigates, K grapples with his own identity and purpose in a world where artificial beings struggle for autonomy. The film explores themes of humanity, memory, and artificial intelligence, set against a dystopian backdrop of environmental decay and corporate control, all while examining the complexities of existence. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  "Director Denis Villeneuve's first choice for the role of Niander Wallace was David Bowie, but sadly, he passed away before filming began." 
    
  "The opening scene where 'K' (Ryan Gosling) confronts Sapper Morton (Dave Bautista) mirrors an unused scene from the original Blade Runner (1982). In that scene, Deckard was supposed to shoot a Replicant and remove its artificial jaw, but the sequence was ultimately abandoned." 
    
  "To emphasize Joi's artificial nature, editor Joe Walker experimented with freezing her image for nine frames just before she responds to a question, creating a brief pause as if her processor was occupied. However, this approach felt forced, so it was dropped in favor of other visual cues, like her changing costumes."
